Our Price is Too Low to Advertise

Many of our manufacturers have a Minimum Advertised Price (M.A.P.) policy. This restricts us from advertising prices below a certain price which in many cases is higher than our everyday low price. In order to maintain our commitment to deliver our customers the lowest prices available, we must present our prices for products within M.A.P. pricing guidelines.
